THE 6TH BI-ANNUAL JAZZ-AGE LAWN PARTY
Governor’s Island (NY)

Sat. & Sun. Aug. 20th & 21st, 2011
11:00 am to 5:00 pm

Admission $7/advance (available here), $10/door (Children Under 12 Free)

Michael Arenella and His Dreamland Orchestra invites you to join us on this hidden gem just off the southeastern tip of Manhattan, nestled in the heart of majestic New York Harbor. Under a shady grove of centuries-old trees, caressed by fresh sea air, a sprawling green surrounded by historic officers’ quarters and 18th century naval ramparts becomes the setting for a true Gatsby affair. A recession-friendly $7 advance admission gives you access to one of the Summer’s most magnificent celebrations.

A wide array of music, food & drink, and activities are open for all ages to enjoy:

• Beautiful, real-wood ‘50 x ‘50 dance floor set up right on the lawn!

• Performances by ’20s tapping sensations The Minsky Sisters
• Authentic ‘78 records from the 1920s played on antique phonographs by Michael Cumella of WFMU’s Antique Phonograph Music Program.
• Charleston lessons by dance legend Roddy Caravella
